2018-02-05: Kaitai Struct v0.8 released

After a long period of silence, Kaitai project is happy to announce
release of new major version of Kaitai Struct, declarative markup
language to describe various binary data structures — binary file
formats, network stream packets, etc.

The basic idea of Kaitai Struct is that a particular format can be
described using Kaitai Struct language (in a .ksy file), which then
can be compiled using kaitai-struct-compiler into source files in
one of the supported programming languages. These modules will include
a generated code for a parser that can read described data structure
from a file / stream and provide access to its contents in a nice,
easy-to-comprehend API.

This release celebrates 1000 stars achieved by Kaitai Struct at
GitHub, and sports a
brand new logo designed by Verneri
Kontto. Thanks for all our users, and
many thanks to Verneri for designing it!
